the slovenian Tadej Pogacar, who this Sunday recovered eight seconds from the Danish Jonas Vingegaard in the fight for the yellow jersey of Tour de Franceassured that he will try to put pressure on his rival “to the maximum”.
“It was a positive day. Before the last climb it was not too difficult and I told myself that I had to try something, even though I knew that Vingegaard was very strong. I wanted to make up some time, I had to put maximum pressure on him” he said UAE broker.
Pogacar attacked with 400 meters to go in the Puy de Dôme and shaved 8 seconds off Vingegaard overall, where he was 17 seconds behind.
The Slovenian made sure that the loot was enough and he did not fight for the stage, where the Canadian signed the Michael Woodsso as not to waste forces on other purposes than the general.
“Athletes always want to win and there was disappointment when we saw the breakaway coming, which worked very well. Last year, we learned that you can’t find all the stages, that we have to focus on the goal, which is the general,” he said. .
